Captured by Acres

One of the onlookers contacted the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres), which arrived to capture the python from the drain nearby.

According to Acres, the python was likely to be scared off by the gathering crowd.

“We responded but we understand that the snake had moved into a covered drain. The cat was already dead. The presence of the crowd probably caused the snake to let go of the cat and move away as they are generally shy animals.”
